SALVATION IS IN CHRIST ALONE

Contrary to the comfortable and convenient feeling as one sails along on that Sea of Relativity, that there is no such thing as absolute truth, the fact remains, there is.

Today I bring to you as a storm the claims of Jesus of Nazareth in an attempt to not only rock your boat, but to warn you like a fog horn, that with each breath you take you sink further and further toward a port called hell.

A literal place of etrnal conscious torment; a one way ticket to a very close encounter of the ultimate wrong kind. Now people don’t like it when we preach about hell, especially today, because they feel people will be offended.

Well I can promise you that sailing along on that Sea of Relativity until they dock in hell will offend them far more than any of our words ever could! And let it be known, the “shore leave” is permanent.

So, when you have time, I suggest you prayerfully read Luke 16:19-31. You should know in John 8:24 Jesus says:

I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he [the Eternal God in human flesh] you will die in your sins.

And He goes on in John 14:6 to say — “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” So much for those who say there’s no such thing as absolute truth.

Apparently Jesus happens to think there is. And the issue at hand is this: If all religions lead to God, then Jesus was the stupidest Man Who ever lived; because He would’ve taught things that eventually got Him crucified for absolutely nothing.

Christ Jesus of Nazareth, with full knowledge that He could be executed for making the claims He did—that He was the only narrow pathway to God, because He was equal to the Father, sharing His Deity—continued to proclaim that He was the truth.

So if people can take different roads to God, then Jesus was completely wrong; and that would mean our Lord gave His life on the cross for absolutely nothing! To believe what many people in our society today believe, is to make Jesus out to be a fool.

This is the crossroad a person today faces: Either Jesus is Who He said He is—the eternal God come in human flesh, and the only Savior of the world—or He was a deranged failure. You see, it must be one or the other; that is precisely the choice Jesus meant to give us.

The absolute truth is: Salvation is found in no one else period! Your secular humanist world-view won’t save you; your so-called “good life” won’t save you; your church won’t save you, nor will the old ostrich method, “bury your head in the sand.”

You know, where one simply won’t deal with this issue and say, “Well; I’m just not interested in spiritual things.” That certainly won’t save you! Only Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, can save you:

“let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well.

This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”(Acts 4:10-12)

If you don’t know Jesus today, then it is you who must be saved! And don’t think for a minute that what I have taught you is simply my own  opinion.

I have been very careful to quote God’s Word–the Bible–directly, and in context. So your argument is not with me, but with the Lord God of the universe Himself.

If you win that one–then you be sure to come back and talk with me. Better yet, please repent and believe…
